And, of course, as all but cultists know, immigrants of any kind commit far less crimes than do US citizens... Trump's Lies and Fearmongering notwithstanding.

Last century the Sex Pistols sang a song with the lyrics "...'cause tourists are money...."

This century the Republicans sing "...'cause migrants are money."

Sounds illegal and unConstitutional.

They've stooped so low as to start babbling the post hoc excuse that since they're "illegal," they're all criminals.

Calling someone a murderer rapist pedophile drug dealer who is uniquely identifiable as someone to be evicted from the US and sent to some part of the world in which they have no known connection doesn't make them one--yet...

The problem is PeeWee German who wants to ethnically cleanse the US.

They created the narrative that all immigrants are criminals and that there were millions and millions here committing crimes when in fact the crime rate for immigrants is lower than homegrowns.

Deportations of criminals cannot meet their goals, so now they turn to arresting migrants who are not criminals.

Fishpaw, in our lifetimes, Republicans have never believed in "Innocent Until Proven Guilty."

Thank you for demonstrating the truth of that observation.

And these days, Republicans don't even believe in Guilty When Proven Guilty. Look how many pardons Trump has handed out to career criminals and crazed killers.

Los Angeles is under attack by our own government. The masked kidnappers terrorizing our cities in Southern California are disappearing people, including US Citizens. Where are the millions of patriots who oppose tyranny now? These "ICE" capture squads are violently kidnapping people off the streets. Clearly not as organized or disciplined as brownshirts, so maybe I'll start calling them clownshirts.

The US Marines are deployed on our own soil.
